A bit of Covid-19 irony for you…

My neighbors D&L took the covid thing really seriously, as I may have mentioned. They masked religiously and stopped attending neighborhood get-togethers, got the vaccine as soon as humanly possible and still masked and distanced themselves. At one point D even tried rocking the two-mask look, but I guess that was a step too far even for him because he dropped that pretty quickly but he still puts on an N95 every time he steps out of his truck in the little town nearest where we live.

I kind of understand their concern: The disease seemed to only really harm the old and already sick and they’ve both been in and out of hospitals quite a lot in the past few years what with strokes and cancer and various injuries. Through all that, the only thing that ever seemed to truly bother either of them was the prospect of catching ‘the covid.’ About 3 weeks ago L fell and broke her hip, got ambulanced out to a hospital, then upon her release went into a rehab center so strict about covid that they wouldn’t even let her in until she proved she was vaccinated and that doesn’t allow any family visits for fear of infection.

And after all that, guess who’s got Covid-19.

Happily she never got any serious symptoms, only had any symptoms at all for a day or two, and now (cue further irony) she’s being treated with all that stuff the television newsreaders told her were ridiculous right wing propaganda. But she’s stuck there till she tests negative for the virus and we’re not sure when that’s gonna be.

Considering that rehab center staff gave her the disease – that’s apparently been firmly established – we’re also not sure who’s paying for the extended confinement and treatment. She was originally supposed to come home today.

    My observation, the ‘Vaxx’ is not any more effective than the ‘flu’ shot. So why take it? Another observation, the staff is those places are the spreaders. Here’s another observation, the clinic my daughter is doing her post doc in, the ‘un-vaxxed’ are not getting ‘the bug’, but the ‘vaxxed’ are dragging it to work and spreading it around amongst the ‘vaxxed’. This gets curiouser and curiouser.

    The perfect is the enemy of the good.

    Flu or Covid, there is no such thing as a perfect jab, but “imperfect” is definitely not the same thing as “ineffective “. We are always playing the odds, and the data shows that the jabs improve your odds, especially against severe disease.

    The vaccine is definitely more dangerous than the disease. There is no doubt of that anymore. One of these days we’re going to look back on this history as the largest deliberate genocide of all time.

    Italy just officially changed its COVID death statistics to stop counting deaths with SARS-CoV-2 and to only count deaths from SARS-Cov-2. They say that of the of the 130,468 deaths registered as official COVID deaths since the start of the “pandemic”, only 3,783 are directly attributable to the virus alone. Big difference.

    More deaths happen from the flu than from COVID.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    But she had the VAXX!!

    Hey, this is a friend we’re talking about. Let’s keep the schadenfreude to ourselves.

  7. Mike says:

    I’m glad that L is doing OK considering the other things that have been going on.

    As for her taking the needle… There has never been a Vaccine that has been 100% effective, even though the Auto-eugenics* crowd would have you believe otherwise. The advantage of getting the shot is if you catch whatever you were inoculated against, the symptoms are much less than those who refused the needle.

    BEN: ” We are always playing the odds, and the data shows that the jabs improve your odds, especially against severe disease.”

    Sez who?
    The same liars that pushed the disease on us so they could sell us “vaccine”?

    The same ones that lied to squash the knowledge of effectivity of ivermectin, HCQ and Vitamin D in fighting Covid? (Many thousands of people died for NO REASON, except to enrich Big Pharma)

    The same ones that hide the numbers on the bad effects of the shots?

    Please stop trusting the “news” from the major media and the CDC.

  9. coloradohermit says:

    I’m glad her symptoms are mild and I hope she recovers quickly and gets home soon.

  10. Mike says:

    @ Mark – “Sez who?”

    Says the doctors, infectious disease experts, virologists, & epidemiologists whose opinions formed from years of study and research carry a little more weight than the Auto-eugenics* crowd who barely passed high school science.

    “The same liars that pushed the disease on us so they could sell us “vaccine”?”

    If you have proof, please share it. I’m sure the rest of the world would love having the proof to go after those who are responsible if COVID was created in a lab.

    * Auto-eugenics – Where Eugenics is the pseudo-science aimed at improving the human gene pool by weeding out the least fit, Auto-eugenics is the phenomenon in which excessively gullible and intellectually challenged people are weeding themselves out of the gene pool.

    Mike, you are relying on Lame Steam Media. You don’t believe Mark because of your NORMALCY bias, the rest of the world is getting the proof. Check Joel’s blog roll, you will get RED PILLED. Just sayen’…as a 70 year old skeptic and learner by hard knocks.

To the stake with the heretic!
